Synopsis: | Fellow Travellers deals with personal betrayal in a time of political upheaval. The play moves back and forth between two time periods, 1930s Germany and 1970s California. As the Weimar Republic collapses and the National Socialists seize power, two artists and close friends struggle with politics, censorship and personal ambition. One is labeled a degenerate while the other climbs to success. The survivor emigrates to California, becoming a world-renown artist. Forty years later, a surprise visitor forces him to face the choices he has made and the toll they have taken. | |||||
